Isocrete Acoustic K-Screed & Isowarm Under Floor Heating

www.flowcrete.com

Hidden away and less visible than many other construction products, Isocrete Floor Screeds have a vital role to play within the construction sector, in both new-build and refurbishment developments. Since 1969, Isocrete Floor Screeds have been the product of choice for architects and specifiers on some of the world’s most prestigious projects. All over the globe, Isocrete has been used extensively across a broad range of developments, including airports, hospitals, stadia, shops, shopping centres, schools, public buildings, colleges and universities.

Modern construction programmes place great demands on the products they use. Today’s floor screed systems need to be fast, strong, safe and able to cope with the rigorous techniques and methods undertaken throughout the world. The Flowcrete Group is committed to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly products and Isocrete Floor Screeds are no exception. Our screeds use by-products from heavy industry waste streams and they reduce clean water consumption in screed construction.

Isocrete Floor Screeds guarantee to speed up programme times in all construction projects, allowing for the early installation of moisture sensitive finishes. Flowcrete is revolutionising the floor screed industry by promoting machine installation, which enables Isocrete K-Screed to be installed up to four times the speed of traditional screeds. Construction schedules are drastically reduced thanks to the use of automated mixing, pumping and laying machines which are purpose built for use with Isocrete K-Screed.

Fast track products including Isocrete Self Level Renovation, PHS and Screedfast give a reliable and durable solution when work needs to be carried out at speed. Floor Screeds are ideal for the renovation of floors in office buildings, shops, public buildings, schools, hospitals, airports and prisons where the screed needs to be trafficked or overlaid soon after the installation. Our penetrating and hardening systems are capable of restoring failed cement/sand screeds to their original condition with minimal downtime and disruption.

The latest addition to be added to our Isocrete Floor Screed range is a pioneering acoustic flooring solution, designed to reduce noise levels within multi-occupancy and multi-purpose buildings, helping architects and project managers to comply with both Approved Document E and Scottish Technical Handbook Section 5 for house builders. Isocrete Acoustic K combines noise reduction efficiency with the time proven performance of Isocrete Floor Screeds.

Isowarm Under Floor Heating provides invisible, controllable heat, providing warmth on demand, whilst at the same time delivering economic, environmental and efficiency savings. Isowarm is geared up to the specialist needs of modern style and design.

ISOCRETE K-SCREED - the level best

HIDDEN

Despite being hidden from view, Isocrete K-Screed has a proven track record across the globe. The system is known for its ability to deliver environmental and performance benefits that greatly outweigh those of traditional concrete as well as having a more preferable retail price to most self-levelling compounds.

Isocrete K-Screed combines compressive strengths of over 30N/mm2 with early drying times as favourable as 3 weeks compared to the typical 11 to 12 weeks associated with ordinary sand cement screeds.

Isocrete K-Screed can be laid at thicknesses ranging from just 15mm to over 100mm and used in areas of tight tolerance or to falls if required. It is also an appealing screed choice for those looking to install thinner section floor finishes like vinyl.

Problems of cracking, curling and debonding, which have long been associated with traditional substrates, are minimised using the Isocrete K-Screed system thanks to inherent moisture control properties, which help to minimise the possibility of screed failure.

Mark GreavesManaging Director

Flowcrete Group Ltd

The key to a strong, reliable and sustainable floor is a quality screed product that will smooth out any lumps or bumps on the surface of the structure prior to the installation of final floor finishes. Isocrete has been the market leader in floor screeds internationally since 1969 and has been involved in some of the largest and most high-profile screeding contracts to date for clients including Dubai, Chek Lap Kok and Kuala Lumpur International Airports, Wembley Stadium, the Wynn Resort & Casino as well as a number of major shopping centres and hospital complexes.

Known in the industry for delivering ‘the level best in floor screeds’ our award-winning cementitious screed system, Isocrete K-Screed, combines high strength, rapid installation and excellent moisture control with compatibility to a number of bolt-on sub-floor systems, including underfloor heating and acoustic insulation, to offer the most unbeatable screed product yet.

Containing the innovative K-Additive, a plasticising and accelerating admixture used to modify and enhance the performance of sand and cement based screeds, Isocrete K-Screed is chosen for its ability to deliver a strong level platform on which to lay a host of floor finishes, including tiles, carpet, wood, vinyl, and resin, on the fast track.

Isocrete K-Screed can be machine applied using a revolutionary technique, which has seen enormous improvements to health and safety issues involved in flooring projects. Taking the pressure off the backs and joints of floor screeders, the Isocrete K-Master machine delivers a safer, flatter sub-floor installed up to four times faster than traditional methods.

Isocrete K-Screed Machine Installation.

FAST-TRACK

Isocrete K-Screed can be applied using the Isocrete K-Master - an automated screeding machine that has been designed to increase the productivity and efficiency of floor screeding projects.

Using laser technology, the Isocrete K-Master eliminates errors brought about by manual application. With the machine, floor screeds can be installed up to four times faster than when using conventional pump and hand applied methods - offering significant benefits for construction programme times.

At the same time, the Isocrete K-Master delivers considerable improvements to health and safety, taking floor screeders off their hands and knees and alleviating pressure on both the spine and joints as well as reducing their contact with cement, which can lead to skin irritation.

Used in conjunction with the Isocrete K-Master, our Isocrete K-Screed range can deliver a safer, faster and even flatter sub-floor.

Multi-occupancy environments consist of a diverse set of private and public buildings. High standards of management, infrastructure and indoor environmental quality must be maintained in these environments to

ensure the individual comfort of each occupant or tenant as well as to minimise the health and safety hazards or adverse effects brought about by living or working in shared spaces.

Isocrete K-Screed is the ideal sub-floor system for buildings of this kind; not only does the product deliver compressive strengths of over

30N/mm2 but, installed in conjunction with an underfloor heating and/or acoustic insulation system, can

provide a safe heat source operated by individually controlled thermostats and at

the same time boast excellent acoustic standards by minimising airborne

or impact sound transfer.

“The Flowcrete Group is committed to developing our operations in a sustainable manner and has a holistic approach to producing environmentally friendly flooring materials. This means that rather than just focusing on environmental issues, all decision-making considers the environmental, social and economic impact of Flowcrete’s flooring materials, manufacture and supply in order to improve our Company’s contribution to addressing the important issues our society faces today.”

“Isocrete K-Screed contains recycled materials that have been reclaimed from heavy industry waste streams and has a low cement content to meet high environmental standards. The reduced thicknesses offered by the system can dramatically reduce the amount of material transported and used on site. Fully protected by a suitable floor covering, the life-cycle of the system is expected to mirror that of the building itself - and has been designed to be recycled on demolition.”

“We recognise that adopting a sustainable approach across all of our operations throughout the world is the only way that we can truly improve our Company’s contribution to environmental protection. By doing so, Flowcrete’s contribution to sustainability shall be significant and tangible.”

ENSURING

sustainability


Dubai finally took its place on the world cricket stage as the first Twenty20 Tournament to be held in the UAE played out at the newly constructed Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium.

The 25,000 seat stadium, which features state-of-the-art facilities, is set to host a number of nail biting games over the coming seasons and includes a no-shadow lighting system that even allows matches to be played on cooler evenings.

Flowcrete’s high strength cementitious floor screed, Isocrete K-Screed was selected for the project to provide a strong and level platform for final floor finishes over a 35,000m² area. The fast-curing, quick-drying properties of Isocrete K-Screed allow for fast application and the reduced water content of the system provides added strength and durability.

KLIA, Malaysia.Flowcrete has been involved in one of the largest floor screeding projects awarded to date at one of South East Asia’s major aviation hubs, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, located in Malaysia’s Sepang District.

For the multi-million pound project, the Malaysian Government needed a first class floor screed that was both strong and durable so as to cope with the estimated 60 million passengers that descend on the airport each year.

Over 200,000m2 of Flowcrete’s fast drying Isocrete K-Screed was installed in the main passenger terminal building providing a level platform prior to the installation of final floor finishes. Isocrete K-Screed is approved by the British Board of Agrément and laid only by approved applicators.
